I have recently been watching a few of Alfred Hitchcock’s many movies and one thought kept going round in my head. He seemed to work with certain actors and actresses multiple times and achieve great results. Since then there have been numerous actor/director collaborations that have produced great performances and movies. So have a think, which is your favourite actor/director collaboration and why?

Monica Vitti and Michelangelo Antonioni made great movies like L’Avventura and The Red Desert together.

Akira Kurosawa and Toshiro Mifune – If you didn’t know any better you might think that Mifune was in almost every Kurosawa movie he made…They made 16 films together.

Jimmy Stewart and Alfred Hitchcock….. Vertigo, Rope, The Man Who Knew Too Much – all classic films.

I think Scorsese/De Niro is probably going to jump to mind for a lot of people, then maybe Hitchcock and Stewart is going to be right up there for the film folks and cineastes. I like that filmgeek mentioned Wong Kar Wai/Maggie Cheung. Not sure if you already have it here but I’m reminded of the other side of the lens, like famous director/cinematographer teams..that would make another good thread.

Stephen Daldry and the actors worked with him-he makes the actors deliver one of the best performances (Kate Winslet, Ralph Fiennes, Nicole Kidman)
